I hope everyone had a very special and blessed Thanksgiving Day! I had not thought that I would have the opportunity to travel and be with my family, but a miracle occurred and I was able to spend a few hours with them. What a happy time it was! I wish such a special time for all of you!

On a thread posted by kattracks concerning the letters home to fallen troops that the President must write, VOA has suggested this as a special topic of prayer which we Prayer Warriors should address. The following is the offering made on that thread. If you wish to participate in that thread, it can be found here:

"This sounds like an item for which Dubya could use some prayer-assistance..."

Thanks so much for the ping and the call to prayer. I agree with you, VOA. We have had him at the top of our Troop Prayer List since the beginning. The man does have many stresses and challenges before him and deserves our prayers.

Beloved Heavenly Father,

We place before you our President, George W. Bush. We are recognizing the particular challenge before him concerning the letters to families of fallen troops he has to write. Father, surround and support him while he is executing this very painful duty of Commander In Chief. If it is possible and according to your Law, let us also bear with him a portion of that burden. Each of these who have given their lives are our brothers and sisters in a very real sense. They have given their very lives for us so that we can live our lives breathing the air of sweet Freedom. We ask for the grieving families to be comforted and healed. Assure them in their very hearts that this nation IS grateful for them and that those letters from the President are not only personal letters from him, but also sent on behalf of all of us.

Father, we are so very grateful for the service of all our fine troops and their allies. Bring them all home in the fullness of time, after the Job is done, safe and victorious.

Amen
